Spears teams up with Travis Barker on LP

Rodney Jerkins has revealed that he brought Britney Spears and Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker together for a track.

The producer explained that he wanted to inject an energetic sound into the track and recording process, so called on Barker to supply the drums.

"I'm really excited ... I did two songs on her album, and one of the songs I did, I brought in Travis Barker, and it's got this rock feel which is out of the box, out of my norm, and I think it's out of her norm as well," he told MTV. "We had a great time making this record."

When asked about the song in question Jerkins responded: "[It's] classic Britney Spears, uptempo heavy, of course. It's new and different."

The collaboration is thought to have happened "about a month ago".

The producer also praised Spears saying: "She's great. She gets it. She is a top-notch veteran pro at this now."

The artwork for the American singer's next single ''Til The World Ends' was unveiled earlier.
